The United States arms sales to the Middle Eastern countries will eventually boomerang on the US, a political analyst tells Press TV. His comment comes as the US has recently finalized a 30-billion-dollar deal with Saudi Arabia as part of a 60-billion-dollar contract, first unveiled in October 2010. The US has also signed a deal to sell about USD 3.5 billion worth of arms to the United Arab Emirates. “The sales of such high technology to unstable regimes in the Middle East region such as Saudi Arabia or United Arab Emirates, is something that is going to backfire on the United States,” said Nader Mokhtari political commentator and journalist. “You have to take into account that these countries are not run via political operatives like other countries,” the Tehran-based analyst said, adding that they are run 'like family-run businesses.' The US has demonstrated support for popular uprisings in the Middle East while at the same time propping up their authoritarian regimes by selling them billions of dollars worth of various types of weaponry. In its Yearbook 2010, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) stated that the US accounts for 43 percent of world military spending and 30 percent of global arms exports, making it the world's leader in both categories. US arms sales to the Persian Gulf countries has reached USD 123 billion, with a USD 67.8 billion package for Saudi Arabia, USD 35.6 billion for the United Arab Emirates, USD 12.3 billion for Oman and USD 7.1 billion for Kuwait.

Our condolences to all the people of the world upon the demise anniversary of the esteemed Imam Ruhollah Khomeini (R), the esteemed founding father of the Islamic Republic. Yet, what was the pre-Islamic Revolution era like in the Muslim World? And what concepts did the Western world and the colonial/imperialist powers try to engrain into the Muslim masses? Is Islam only an individual centric religion or something more than that? What was one of the most fundamental and initial revolutions that Imam Khomeini (R) had to undertake? What are a few of the categories that Imam Khomeini (R) had to confront and/or transform in order to make sure the Islamic Revolution was to be successful? And how is the history of Imam Khomeini (R) similar to that of the holy Prophet Muhammad (S)? What is the cost of \\\'There is no god, but Allah\\\' for the enemies of humanity? Is it possible to gain the \\\'Dunya\\\' and the materialistic world if one submits to the oppression of the enemies of humanity? Is Islam a religion that only focuses on spirituality or is it a religion that only focuses on humanity\\\'s daily worldly life? And what happens when the message of Islam is implemented on a societal level? Is it possible to have a fair, free, and just society without Islam? Finally, why were the divinely appointed Imams (A) martyred at the hands of the governmental establishments of their respective eras? In order to answer these questions and more, we decided to invited Sayyid Muhammad Hashemi from the Islamic Republic of Iran to discuss \\\"Imam Khomeini & The Cultural Revolution\\\". #IslamicPulse #IPTalkShow #ImamKhomeini #IslamicRevolution #Revolution #Justice #Truth #ImamKhamenei #Khamenei #Iran #Oppressed #Tyrant #Culture #Shia #PureMuhammadanIslam #Islam #AhlulBayt #Quran #Allah

Who are some of the categories of the people who were involved in one way or the other, in the recent riots in the Islamic Republic? And what does Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei say about the amount of police presence in the Islamic Republic? Finally, is there a role for cultural work, when it comes to the rectification of certain groups of people that were involved in the street riots in the Islamic Republic? The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, informs us and answers for us, \"Who Were The Recent Rioters in Iran?\"

Who all were the rioters that were seen in the limited and sporadic rioting on some of the streets, in some of the cities in the Islamic Republic of Iran? And are \'the rioters\' merely those that come out onto the streets, or are there other aspects to \'the rioters\'? Was this kind of limited and sporadic rioting something unprecedented in the 40-plus year history of the Islamic Republic of Iran? And was the country of Iran really \'on fire\' or had it turned into a \'war zone\', as the mass media had tried to portray it, and why would the mass media want to portray it as such? What is something that is commonly stated by American officials vis-à-vis, the Islamic Republic of Iran? Yet despite these statements of American officials regarding how long the Islamic Republic of Iran will last, what does the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, say about the current condition of the Islamic Republic? And as far as numbers are concerned, how many people come out against the Islamic System, as compared to how many people come out in support of the Islamic System in Iran? Is it not suspicious, that sporadic and limited rioting occurred almost immediately after the death of Ms. Mahsa Amini? And what are the overall categories of rioters that were seen on the streets and behind the scenes of the recent rioting in the Islamic Republic of Iran? Why did some youth come out onto the streets and join the riots? Why did some Iranian celebrities support, and in some cases, incite the rioters? Yet, who were the real players that participated in the riots, and in many cases, were supporting the rioting from behind the scenes? Do these rioters, who are incredibly limited in number, represent in any way, the mainstream view of the Iranian people? What was the involvement of the MKO/MEK terrorist organization, that is currently headquartered in Albania, and is whole-heartedly supported by the Arrogant Western Powers? How did the Islamic Republic\'s Judiciary branch, based upon the recommendations of the Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, deal with the various rioters, despite the damage that was done by the rioters to public and private property? What role does \'mob mentality\' play in our discussion as regards to the rioters seen on the streets of the Islamic Republic? And finally, what does the Leader of the Islamic Republic, Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei, say about who is ultimately the head of the snake, when it comes to the recent rioters seen on the streets of the Islamic Republic of Iran?
